Speaking of Paris-sometimes walking around it gets tiring and one needs to take a short break.Luxemburg Garden is one of my favorite places in Paris to regroup,observe people and get some new ideas and inspiration.

So,how do ideas for any painting come into my mind?From mundane to miracleous...inspiration comes from everywhere-beauty of nature,weather conditions,state of a mind ,every day objects,people encountered or imagined,a sound ,a glance,a fragrance,a piece of music and much more...sometimes from a dream half recalled...

This painting "Encounter in Paris" speaks or ratherbarks for itself-one of many scenes you can observe on the streets of Paris.
